It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of long time UA Moderator and Wiki Editor Alan Greenwood (Alan_G). Since joining UA in 2003, Alan was an active member of our community, helping countless members improve their understanding and use of Access. Alan's signature line It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice, is well reflected in each of his posts. Alan, we will miss you.

I'm so sad to hear this.I enjoyed conversing with Alan (and participating in Yorkshireman banter - as someone who now lives in Yorkshire Vs his native status) even more than the tech aspects of the threads we shared.A pure gentleman.His legacy will remain.

Alan was great. I always loved reading his responses to posts. Always spoke well and treated everyone with respect which are two key things I love about UA..and he embodied them! Imagine the things he is learning now!!

Thank you all for your comments, I am Alan's close friend and business partner. We have a special form for leaving messages that can be read either during or after his funeral by his family and friends, you are all very welcome to submit a memory or message.

It would mean a lot to his family, to hear how he has helped many people all over the world, as well as in his home town and country

Alan was one of the first people I encountered here on UA. I remember he was always eager to help out, and was not only knowledgeable, but great at explaining the concepts behind his suggestions. In short, everything I strive to be.

So sorry to hear this. Alan was so helpful to me on many occasions and we did have few nice exchanges about S Yorkshire where I lived for a while. He was nice and important.RIP AllanI'll take a wee dram and drink to you.
